Intermediate Physics

Are you curious about how things move, why objects fall, or how everyday systems behave the way they do? This course is designed for students who are ready to go beyond qualitative ideas and begin using math to truly understand physics. It bridges the gap between an introductory exposure to physics and a full high school or AP Physics 1 class.

You will learn not just what equations say, but why they work. Using algebra, graphs, and logical reasoning, you will analyze physical situations the way physicists do. Whether your goal is to feel confident before AP Physics 1 or simply to understand the world more deeply, this course will give you a strong and durable foundation.

What You Will Learn

• The core topics of kinematics, forces, energy, and momentum (the core of AP Physics 1)
• How to approach physics with logical reasoning instead of just memorizing formulas
• Strategies to solve challenging physics problems by breaking them down into manageable steps
• How to develop an intuitive understanding of motion and interactions in the physical world

What You Will Get

• A significant head start before taking AP Physics 1 or a high school physics course
• Clear, structured explanations that emphasize understanding over memorization
• Guided practice problems with step by step solutions
• A solid foundation that will make future physics courses feel more manageable

Prerequisites

Students should be comfortable with algebra, having the ability to solve systems of equations, graph and interpret functions, and apply basic trigonometry. No prior physics experience is required, but a willingness to think critically is essential.
